Nowadays, customers crave emotional connection and authenticity from brands. Therefore, every year we see an increase in representation and inclusion among brand campaigns for special days like Mother’s Day.
This year we see more and more companies showcasing the reality of motherhood and the beauty of diversity among mothers around the world. Moreover, we see more inclusive messages for people who may not celebrate this day, or see it in a different light.
These days, mothers feel more empowered to expose their unspoken experiences with motherhood, challenge the commonly-minimized challenges of being a mother, demand societal change, share their learning outcomes on stigmatized topics, and own their postpartum bodies with confidence. Hence, campaigns should definitely align with that.
Thus, it is with great pleasure that we welcome an increasing number of brands acknowledging that the idealized image of all stages of being a mother is now an obsolete approach to portray.
We present to you the best Mother’s day campaigns of 2022!
